Folarin…Walk good. 28all. Eya. *KT, BTM*

The Warm-Up: 

“Don’t have a workout and go post it on Instagram…Work in silence.” ~Joe Burrow, on what advice he’d give to young athletes today

The Core: 

“Consistency finishes what intensity starts.” ~Shane Parrish

“Don’t be in a rush to get big, be in a rush to have a great product.” ~Eric Ries

“Easy to criticize, so there’s a lot of it. Hard to create, so there’s little of it.” ~Sahil Lavingia

“The secret is to do what needs to be done whether you feel like doing it or not.” ~Orange Book

“Weak people attack strong people, while strong people attack weak ideas.” ~Anthony Pompliano

“I lost the bag, I got a bigger one. I lost a friend, I got a realer one. I never lack, I just transition.” ~Cole Gordon

“If comp is the only tool you have to retain and hire, you have much bigger problems to deal with.” ~Orlando Bravo

“You often have to temporarily do things you don’t enjoy to build the life you will enjoy. Everything has a price, just pay.” ~Orange Book

“Creativity is the output of trusting your instincts; moving energy from your soul to the physical without a blueprint to start.” ~Matt Gottesman

“It’s okay if you’re tired of explaining yourself. Stop explaining. Be at peace. Save the treasure of your time and truth for spaces where constant emotional labor is not required.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant

“There’s nothing more counterproductive than envy. Someone in the world will always be better than you. Of all the sins, envy is easily the worst, because you cant even have any fun with it. It’s a total net loss.” ~Charlie Munger

“One of the most common causes of failure is giving up before results become visible. And yet when results become visible, they come so fast and in such magnitude that you wonder where they’ve been hiding all these years.” ~Shane Parrish

“Most things are not as difficult as they seem—if you focus each day. However, giving one topic your full attention for an extended period of time is even harder than it seems. Over a long timeline, the bottleneck is usually attention not ability.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1

“10 things that I’ve seen have the highest ROI: [1/10] Connect 2 people together. Bringing two like-minded people together is the best thing you can do for your network. If they’re truly compatible (in business, friendships, or love), they’ll remember you forever. Play the positive-sum game.” ~Aadit Sheth

“When he was little, his grandmother made sure to remind him of two certainties, ‘First, women are smarter than you, and second, don’t ever let anyone tell you what or who you are. If they can get it, you can get it.’” ~ Billy McBride, Athletics, Art, and Adversity in the Life of Billy McBride, by Arinze Uddoh ‘22 and Aidan Park ‘22

“Wealth is what you don’t spend, which makes it invisible and hard to learn about by observing other people’s lives. Spending is contagious; wealth is mysterious. Money is often a negative art. What you don’t do can be more important than what you actively do. Everything has a price, and prices aren’t always clear. The price of exercise isn’t just the workout; it’s avoiding the post-workout urge to eat a ton of food. Same in finance. The price of building wealth isn’t just the trouble of earning money or dealing; it’s avoiding the post-income urge to spend what you’ve accumulated.” ~Morgan Housel, After The Fact

Last Set:

“Of course, 2.5 seconds is enough time to get caught up in nonessential activities too. The big tech companies understand this in their relentless competition for our attention. They are constantly testing new ways to offer us smaller units of information: 280 characters on Twitter, ‘likes’ on Facebook and Instagram, newsfeeds we can scroll through and absorb at a glance. These bite-sized activities, may not feel like wasting time—after all, we think, what’s a few seconds? The trouble, of course, is that over time these activities rarely add up to making progress on the goals we hope to achieve. They are easy but pointless.” ~Greg McKeown, Effortless
